Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Surprise Event - Warner Bros. UK / Eddie Redmayne and Dan Fogler from J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, surprised fans last night at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour

pottermore.com: Today, when the doors to the set of Hogwarts Great Hall parted at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, Eddie Redmayne was there to greet visitors with his Fantastic Beasts co-star Dan Fogler. Emerging from the Great Hall, Eddie and Dan were met with screams of excitement, then posed for photos with everyone from the tour group of stunned Harry Potter fans.

The first hint that something was up came when guests were gifted free Fantastic Beasts posters. Once inside, they were asked to look under their seats in the pre-tour screening room, only to find their own replica of Newt Scamander’s wand.

Earlier this week an updated edition of the Hogwarts Library book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was published, revealing six new magical creatures not included in the 2001 original, and a brand new foreword from Newt Scamander.

As well as confirming that Newt is still alive in 2017, the foreword includes commentary on the plot of the 2016 film, as well as some enigmatic hints at Newt’s association with Dumbledore.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is available for digital download in the US and UK now. The DVD and Blu-ray will be released 27 March in the UK and 28 March in the US
